The SaddleBrooke Women’s Golf Association 18 Holers, never let an opportunity pass to compete and to celebrate. 2023 was no exception. Eighty-six women competed to ‘beat the pro’ (our head pro, Jane Chanik, and our 2023 President, Nancy Sartor) on Tuesday, December 5, 2023. The pros scored a net score of 72. Twenty-seven teams beat them by a score of 71 or better. We celebrated at our last official meeting the year by recognizing 18 past presidents who were in attendance and by installing the 2024 Board of Directors: Cathe Kropp (President), Maire Ryan (Vice Presudent), Janice Hoover (Secretary), Sandi Chester (Treasurer), Reenie Romey (Tuesday Play Day Chair), Suzanne Stone-Griffith (Handicap Chair), Kay Cruise (Membership Chair) and Judy Briney (Special Tournament Chair). Our retiring president, Nancy Sartor, will remain on the Board as Advisor to the Board of the Directors. We also recognized the great support we get from HOA-1: the manager, Vivienne, our greens keeper Mike P., our Director of Golf Mike Roddy, our pros Molly Fullerton and Jane Chanik, our Food Service Manager, Trish Rogers and our Pro Shop Staff employees.

The following week, on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, we held our annual Ace of Aces Tournament where each of the Gross and Net Aces of the Month get to compete for the year’s honors. It was a beautiful day, and the winning Gross Ace of Aces was Helen Graham; the winning Net Ace of Aces was Carol Sturman.

Our January Tuesday Play Day sponsors are Susan Penninton, First Inspection, G&K Entryways, Westerner Products and Andy’s Irrigation.
